My cat has become so picky all he will eat is treats. Does anyone know a healthy cat food that my cat would actually eat????

I have wasted a LOT of money on cat food. I bought dry food from the vet...had to give that away. I bought Blue Buffalo chicken flavor dry food....going to give that away soon. I used to buy wet food, the gourmet stuff (might have been friskies) where the meat looked so good I would have eaten it myself on a bet. Had to stop buying that because he would take a bite and walk away.

I am looking for some kind of cat food that is even MORE delicious than the treats (Temptations). Any suggestions?

Yes---own the cat instead of letting it own you. Put the food YOU want the cat to eat in the cat dish and leave it there. At some point the cat will eat it--and from then on it will. Right now it knows it can control what you feed it---because you give in and do it.

@anythingoes477 You are probably right. The Blue Buffalo has been sitting in his dish for almost a month now, and I feel like he will starve if I don't feed him.

@4meAndyou If you had oatmeal or spinach in front of you but knew if you held out your mom would give you a candy bar instead if you just meowed loud enough---you'd do it---right? Treats are called treats because they taste good------but usually they have very little in nutritional value--compared to a quality food. You're not helping your cat by giving in. You're hurting it's health.
